Kontrol Panel
Ed Gein Fan Club
A-Bomb Nation
Although I didn’t mention it in my notes, I believe this was one a handful of parties thrown by the good folks behind the TCPunk Message Board. I reckon I was too caught up in recording and drinking to bother with little things like footnotes. Subsequently, there was a bit of confusion as to the correct date – MNHS lists the date as 2002-08-01, whereas I had it listed as 2002-08-10. I opted to go with the MNHS listing, as I only recorded A-Bomb Nation and Ed Gein Fan Club once, and they are both mentioned during the Plate-O-Shrimp set, as well as Kontrol Panel.
